RUBBER POURS INTO GAS STATIONS: Miss Mary V. Meyers, 1113, Lutz Ave., stopped at Hunter's gas station, W. Liberty and S. First Sts., this morning to watch Attendant Harold Harris weigh up some of the first contributions in the current drive to collect scrap rubber. This service station was lucky enough to be able to borrow a scale, something managers of all stations in the city which are collecting rubber would like to be able to do. The scale on which Mr. Harris is weighing the pile of old tires was loaned by James Smith, a farmer living on Pontiac Trail.

SCRAP RUBBER COLLECTIONS BEGIN TO LEAVE ANN ARBOR: Proof that Ann Arbor and Washtenaw county residents' efforts in the recently-ended scrap rubber collection campaign were not in vain is offered in this picture which shows the first shipment of scrap to leave the city. Cars shown above being loaded from the 50-ton plus pile gathered at the Staebler-Kempf station depot will carry 18 tons of rubber each to the Rubber Reserve Corp. collection depot in Cleveland from whence it will be turned over to varied rubber companies for reclaiming operations.
